I sat there quietly next to Ruka as he spoke about talking to father of having me back in the castle. I was more than happy to hear it; finally, I was going back after so much of wait. I don't think the reason Ruka and I stayed apart was because we weren't married, I knew there was a valid reason for it but didn't know what it was.
I saw mom looking at dad while he sat there contemplating things Ruka just said a minute back. Dad cleared his throat before he spoke.
"Is it safe that way? I know you will keep her safe and I do not doubt it. I also understand that my daughter is your mate but is it okay?" my dad asked concerned, worry evident in his voice. Did it really worry him that much that I was going to the castle?
"Yes, I did consider all the things and then decided it would be for the best. I hope you understand. I am aware of what Annesana has said a year ago but this is necessary," Ruka gave a squeeze to my hand which was in his as he said.
